I was just sitting here, enjoying how their shared past was bleeding into the words between Himchan, Junhong and Yongguk and didn't see that flashback at the end coming, at all. All the himup makes my heart hurt so good. I'm so anxious for the moment present-day Jongup finally makes his appearance in the story. That naked regret at the end of the flashback part... ugh. Hurts so good.

I really felt for Himchan during the conversation with Junhong and Yongguk. The way he was desperate to ask about Jongup but still didn't want to steer the conversation in that direction. I suppose sweet little Junhong understood it, too. And Jongup is there in Himchan's mind when he's talking to the doctor, too, only he doesn't voice it that time either. It made me wonder if his feelings for Jongup were something he never touched during all the sessions he had had in rehab.

Your Yongguk is so... Yongguk. ^^ I can totally see him with a wife and a kid, not getting enough sleep but taking pride in the bags under his eyes because they're from nights spent with his kid. His and Himchan's friendship seems so strong, too, and I'm so happy for Himchan that he now has two people at the wedding that he knows will be supporting him. Really love the way you wrote the banghim reunion!

Thank you so much for another stellar update. ^^ Can't wait for the one!

Thank you so much!
Haha I love daddy Guk so much here. If I ever wanted to write Yongguk/OC then this would so be the version I would go with. He probably stays up all night watching his kid sleep and has one of those wallets where you open it and the picture sleeve spills down to the floor. He will be such a good daddy <3
